“The Polish authorities, with the tacit consent of Western countries, continue to commit crimes against foreign citizens and generate new facts of cruelty and tortures. Another atrocity was recorded in the Svisloch District. On the night of November 4th, Belarusian border guards found two refugees (citizens of Eritrea and Guinea) near the Polish border. One of them could not move, the other was bleeding," the source shared some details.

The foreigners were immediately taken to the Svisloch District Hospital for medical care. An investigative task force went to the scene.

“It has become known that the women were heading to Europe to reunite with their relatives. However, instead of helping them, Polish border guards beat them and then ousted into the Belarusian territory. One of the foreigners had a spinal fracture, and the other – a lacerated leg wound. The criminal actions of Polish mercenaries have been thoroughly documented, and a legal assessment of their atrocities will be made by the Svisloch District Department of the Investigative Committee," the source added.
